Qt Contribution Agreement CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT VERSION 1.2 THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”) is executed by you (either an individual or legal entity) (“Licensor”) in favor of The Qt Company Oy, an entity incorporated under the laws of Finland and having its principal place of business at Valimotie 21, 00380 Helsinki, Finland, including its Affiliates (“The Qt Company”). 1. DEFINITIONS In this Agreement (and where the context so permits) the single of the terms defined below shall include the plural and vice versa. The following terms shall have the meanings identified below. “Affiliate” means an entity, which is (i) directly or indirectly controlling such party, (ii) under the same direct or indirect ownership or control as such party, or (iii) directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such party. For these purposes, an entity shall be treated as being controlled by another if that other entity has fifty percent (50%) or more of the votes in such entity, is able to direct its affairs and/or to control the composition of its board of directors or equivalent body. “Chief Maintainer” means the individual initially appointed to lead, direct, and manage the Qt Project by The Qt Company and, in subsequent periods, the individual elected by a simple majority the Qt Project maintainers to lead, direct and manage the Qt Project. “Contributions” means the code, documentation or other original works of authorship, including without limitation any modifications or additions to an existing work, that are submitted via any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication to the Qt Project for inclusion in, or documentation of, Qt Software. “GNU License Terms” means all software licenses copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, currently in use or hereafter published, including, but not limited to, the GNU General Public License versions 1 through 3, the GNU Library General Public License versions 1 through 2 or the GNU Lesser General Public License versions 2.1 through 3.0. “Licensor Contributions” means Contributions submitted by Licensor, or if applicable Licensor’s employee(s). “Open Source Software” shall mean any software component, application or collection of files in human- or machine-readable form that is publicly available in source code form and licensed under an open source license listed at http://www.opensource.org/licenses or similar license. “Qt Project” means the open source software project initially created by Nokia Corporation, aimed at developing Qt Software. “Qt Software” means any Qt software and any Contributions, related “online” or electronic documentation, associated media and printed materials, including but not limited to the source code, object code, example programs, tools, add-ons, plug-ins, companion products and documentation. “Third Party Contributions” means Contributions that are copyrighted or owned by a party other than the party submitting the Contribution. “Update” means a release or version of the Qt Software containing enhancements, new features, bug fixes, or error corrections. 2. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT 2.1 Purpose In order to participate in the development of Qt Software, The Qt Company requires Licensor to accept the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. This Agreement is primarily required because The Qt Company has existing obligations regarding the Qt Software and wants to enable the broadest, most vibrant Qt ecosystem. This agreement facilitates The Qt Company’s compliance with the spirit of its commitments to the Open Source Community, under the agreement with the KDE Free Qt Foundation, and enables participation of commercial Qt users in the Qt Project. 2.2 General Licensor wishes to participate in the development of Qt Software. Licensor accepts and agrees to the following terms and conditions for Licensor’s present and future Licensor Contribution(s) submitted to The Qt Company and/or the Qt Project. If Licensor does not agree to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Contribution(s) cannot be accepted and Licensor cannot contribute code or participate in the development of Qt Software. 2.3 Third Party Contributions Third Party Contributions are not accepted under the terms of this Agreement. Third Party Contributions may only be accepted for use in Qt Software or by the Qt Project if the following criteria are met: (a) The Third Party Contribution is licensed under license terms that are compatible with the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (“LGPL v. 2.1”) as included on the Free Software Foundation’s website (www.gnu.org); and (b) If the Third Party Contributions are licensed under either: (i) GNU License Terms; or (ii) license terms requiring as a condition of use, modification and/or distribution of the software subject to the license, that the software or other software combined and/or distributed with it be disclosed or distributed in source code form; licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or redistributable at no charge, both the Chief Maintainer and The Qt Company must give their unanimous, prior, written consent before such Third Party Contribution may be included in the Qt Project. The modules for which consent has been obtained will be posted on the Qt Project web site. (c) Notwithstanding (a) and (b) above, a Third Party Contribution which is an Update to third party code already included in Qt Software may be used to replace such third party code previously included in Qt Software provided that the Update is licensed under the same license terms as the code it is replacing. The Chief Maintainer shall remove, from the public Qt code repositories or project website, any Third Party Contribution which does not meet the criteria specified above. 3. LICENSE GRANTS 3.1 Copyright License Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, to The Qt Company a sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully paid-up copyright and trade secret license to reproduce, adapt, translate, modify, and prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, make available and distribute Licensor Contribution(s) and any derivative works thereof under license terms of The Qt Company’s choosing including any Open Source Software license. 3.2 Patent License Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, to The Qt Company and to the recipients of the Qt Software a sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty- free and fully paid up patent license to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, export, import and otherwise dispose of the Qt Software and to practice methods and processes therein, where such license applies to those patents licensable by Licensor that are infringed by the making, using, selling, offering to sell, importing or otherwise disposing of Licensor Contribution(s) or its constituent parts (a) as such, or (b) in combination with Qt Software. 3.3 Warranty Licensor represents and warrants that it or its Affiliate is the owner of the Licensor Contribution(s) and that it or its Affiliate(s) has the authority to grant the licenses thereto set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement. Moreover, Licensor represents and warrants that its and its Affiliates’ compliance with this Section 3 will not breach against any other contract or license binding on the Licensor or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation, any Open Source Software license applicable to the Licensor Contribution(s) in question. 3.4 No Obligation to Make Use of Contribution For the avoidance of doubt, The Qt Company has the right, but no obligation whatsoever to utilize any Contribution. 3.5 Enforcement Authorization The Licensor hereby authorizes, and agrees to execute without undue delay any and all documents reasonably necessary to effect such authorization, for The Qt Company to enforce the Licensor’s copyrights in and to a Licensor Contribution on the Licensor’s behalf against any third parties as The Qt Company at its discretion deems appropriate, at The Qt Company’s expense. In jurisdictions where such authorization is not possible under mandatory applicable law, the Licensor hereby undertakes upon The Qt Company’s request and at The Qt Company’s expense, to act jointly with The Qt Company (as a co-plaintiff) in enforcing the Licensor’s copyrights, provided, however, that the Licensor shall not be obligated to participate as a co-plaintiff if the defendant in such action is a current customer or licensee of Licensor or its Affiliate(s). 4. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AND SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED, THE LICENSOR CONTRIBUTION IS PROVIDED BY LICENSOR “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 5. UPDATE TO AGREEMENT TERMS Periodically, The Qt Company may need to modify the terms of this Agreement. In such cases, The Qt Company shall notify the Chief Maintainer of its desire to modify the terms of this Agreement. The Chief Maintainer shall, within ten (10) days following The Qt Company’s request, initiate an election of four (4) individuals from among those individuals acting as Qt Project maintainers (“Elected Maintainers”) to review and discuss modifications to terms of this Agreement as proposed by The Qt Company. Within not more than thirty (30) days following the selection of Elected Maintainers, the Chief Maintainer and Elected Maintainers shall have the right to veto (based on a simple majority vote) the proposed modifications in terms by The Qt Company.

  • KDE Free Qt Foundation Strengthens Qt
    How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt by Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer (board member of the foundation)1, December 2019 Executive summary The development framework Qt is available both as Open Source and under paid license terms. Two decades ago, when Qt 2.0 was first released as Open Source, this was excep- tional. Today, most popular developing frameworks are Free/Open Source Software2. Without the dual licensing approach, Qt would not exist today as a popular high-quality framework. There is another aspect of Qt licensing which is still very exceptional today, and which is not as well-known as it ought to be. The Open Source availability of Qt is legally protected through the by-laws and contracts of a foundation. 1 I thank Eike Hein, board member of KDE e.V., for contributing. 2 I use the terms “Open Source” and “Free Software” interchangeably here. Both have a long history, and the exact differences between them do not matter for the purposes of this text. How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt 2 / 19 The KDE Free Qt Foundation was created in 1998 and guarantees the continued availabil- ity of Qt as Free/Open Source Software3. When it was set up, Qt was developed by Troll- tech, its original company. The foundation supported Qt through the transitions first to Nokia and then to Digia and to The Qt Company. In case The Qt Company would ever attempt to close down Open Source Qt, the founda- tion is entitled to publish Qt under the BSD license. This notable legal guarantee strengthens Qt.
